5. COLORADO
LOTTERY’S STARBURST CONSERVATION AWARD FOR THE HERMIT PARK OPEN SPACE
ACQUISITION:
Matt Robbins from the Colorado Lottery presented 2009 Starburst Conservation
Award to the Board and the Department of Natural Resources for their work on
the acquisition of Hermit Park Open Space in 2006. Mr. Robbins commended staff,
the Board, and the community for banding together and accomplishing their goal
of acquiring the park.

Mr.
Robbins also noted that to date, Larimer County has received $30 million
dollars from the Colorado Lottery for the acquisition and maintenance of parks
and open lands.

Commissioner
Donnelly thanked everyone for attending the meeting and for their efforts to
make the park available for everyone to enjoy.

Chair
Rennels stated that Larimer County and its citizens earned the award for their
work in making the dream of owning the park a reality. She then thanked the
industry leaders, citizens, and staff who worked on the acquisition.

6. LARIMER
EMERGENCY TELEPHONE AUTHORITY (LETA) UPDATE:
Kimberly Culp, from LETA,
addressed the Board to update them on LETA’s upcoming activities. Ms. Culp
informed the Board that, in the coming year, LETA will be working to connect
all 911 dispatchers in Larimer County to allow larger dispatch centers to assist
smaller dispatch centers with occasional high call volumes.

Ms.
Culp also stated that LETA is looking for legislators to support a bill, during
the upcoming legislative session, which would allow a “911 tax” to be placed on
pre-paid cell phones at the time of purchase. She explained that 19% of all 911
calls are made from pre-paid phones; however, no monetary support is collected
from these users.

Finally,
Ms. Culp explained that the interface created to bridge the two types of
software currently utilized by 911 dispatchers should be in place by the end of
the year. The interface would allow all dispatchers statewide to interconnect
their databases and share information.

Chair
Rennels voiced her support for the proposed legislation and ensured Ms. Culp
that the Board would assist her in finding a legislator to support the bill.

7. ALCOHOL
DISTRIBUTION IN PREMIUM AREAS OF THE RANCH:
Mr. Herrfeldt informed the
Board that he recently became aware that the manner in which alcohol is
distributed in premium areas of the Budweiser Event Center is against the
current liquor code. By stocking mini-refridgerators with alcoholic beverages
and allowing patrons of suites to open the containers and serve themselves is
the current practice for event centers statewide; however, The Ranch recently
received a citation from liquor code enforcement for this exact practice. Mr.
Herrfeldt contacted the state agency in charge of enforcing liquor codes and
was informed that event centers statewide would be notified of the current
liquor code and cited if they refused to comply. Now, patrons of suites and
other premium areas must take alcoholic beverage containers to event center
staff to be opened.

Because
compliance is an inconvenience to patrons and numerous complaints have been
received, Mr. Herrfeldt would like approval from the Board to propose
legislation that would “clean-up” current language and allow alcoholic beverage
containers to be opened by patrons. With assistance from the County Attorney’s
office and support from event centers statewide, Mr. Herrfeldt believed changes
would be made without resistance.

8. ASSISTANT
COUNTY MANAGER WORKSESSION:
Mr. Gluckman informed the Board that, at
Commissioner Donnelly’s request, an update had been made to the county’s
website to link all transparencies to one page. County transparencies, such as
salary listings, county and departmental budgets, warrants, and more have
always been available via the website; however, they are now located on one
page.
